San Andrés Festival - New Wine & Barrel Dragging
One of Tenerife's most distinctive traditions: locals uncork the year's new wine while youngsters drag clattering tin cans and old barrels ("cacharros") down the steep streets of the old town. The weekend wraps up with a grand wine fair showcasing local bodegas and designations of origin.
Icod marks the patron saint of San Andrés in a way you won't see anywhere else. It kicks off on the Thursday evening in Plaza Andrés de Lorenzo Cáceres, where the year's first wine is uncorked and poured while live bands play. Then comes the bit the town is famous for: youngsters tying tin cans, old planks and wooden boards together and dragging the lot down the steep cobbled streets. The racket carries through the old quarter and out into the neighbourhoods, and the smell of fresh new wine hangs over all of it.
Saturday is the Gran Fiesta de los Vinos, a fair where local bodegas and regional wineries set out their tastings alongside the restaurants. It's free to wander; pour a glass and you pay for it. Loud, a touch chaotic, and properly local.
